Go for drop .. if you get rims first your going to look like a 4 x 4.


Nothing wrong w/ drop on stock wheels, many people do it .. it looks alot better and cleaner than larger wheels on stock suspension.

Already got the tires on the steelies. Since im stayin 15 i just swap em. Also i have quite a few rims in mind that are under 150 each and are less than 14 lbs. Heaviest one is 13.2 lbs, and the lightest one is 11.4 lbs. Ironically the lightest is the cheapest but is hard to come by.

Keffin & Red Chirp: I can only get one of the choices in August, so which do you pick?

Im gonna have another vote for my September '04 mod. Pretty much A vote every month till i run out of things under $800 lol

Drop. Go with the Koni/Eibach combo. My dad had that setup on his 91 Civic Si before he sold it and it made for a good smooth ride both cornering and in the straights.

a car on 15 in rims w/ no drop just doesnt look good you might as well drop it ...keep the look it has and then put the rims on it

lol... exhaust on our cars N/A really is just a thing that ya do to fit in with the rest... doesn't give ya performance.... now with my new setup my exhaust sure as hell does help improve power and a lil thing called spool up... but anywayz yea.... go with the drop first find a cheap set of springs you like first... then save or you might still have enough... get your rims and your dropped now and lowered at the same time... and then when it comes time to change your blown shocks you cna afford your Koni's by then... so that's what i say... I guess i seconded riley...

Rear disc convo? If I were you, I'd wait for that.. No need for that just now.. I'd go for the drop first.. It'll also be cool to do everything in one day like keffin and I did.. Gives a more psychological, illusional effect.. =)
